Makes sense why Gil move is waiting for the green light and looks like Tanganga has interest as well.
What?!! You really think this transfer window is like the Mourinho one and that the club hasn't backed Conte? Even after we did most of our transfers early, strengthened a number of positions that needed strengthening, and Conte indicated he's happy with the club's business? I mean, you seriously think that???We were told that Spurs were going to “change their policy” and really back Conte by Club mouth pieces like Gold and Kilpatrick et al. But in reality, as much as so many Spurs fans will refuse to admit it, this window echoes the Mourinho Bale Back window almost to a tee.

Only thing I can say about this transfer is:
Maupay, you're a disgrace - and I hope Brighton get relegated
Or else, what will you do?Agree with that. Now it does look like they are trying to fix things, so i'm all for giving them time if they continue down this path. But if we keep Winks past this window...

This is fine and having a good long term strategy is fine, but has this not been our supposed strategy for almost the entirety of ENICs ownership?
We’ve gone out and gotten a manager in Conte, a top 5 manager in the world. Surely we have brought him in to try and win a league title? Surely every Spurs fan can agree on that? Can any Spurs fan really see Conte here in 5 years time? Even 3 years? I really cannot see why he would stay at Spurs for a long term project when he is at the peak of his powers.
With that in mind, it is surely feasible to question why the club hasn’t really pushed the boat out and gone for the best players available? Replaced players in the starting 11 that have been playing for us for nearly a decade and could easily be upgraded on?

maybe a scum fan who forgot to log out?

Plus Rodon and also Vinucius on loan. The 2013 Bale money window rightly gets some hammer as does 2019 with Ndombele/Lo Celso but not sure 2020 was any better looking at that lot.Is it that different?
Hart/Fraser
Reguillon/Perisic
Doherty/Spence
PEH/Bissouma
Bale/Richarlison
Net spend 20/21 £53m
Net spend 22/23 "about £80m
Throw in covid uncertainty, empty stadiums and Ropey league football, the spend difference is barely worth noting and we signed players in exactly the same positions.
And a lot of fans on here and around the way were very pleased with that window.
Im not suggesting doing anything. Just a 'give them time, they seem to be trying' instead of being upset about them running them club.Or else, what will you do?
And I'm not sure what Winks has to do with your previous sentence. Looks like a lot of things are jumbled in your head.
Chalobah started in 3 of Chelsea's last 4 games last season. Can't say I noticed him.
Is he any good?
Just look at the difference in quality between the 2020 and 2022 windows and that'll give you your answer. And the timing of the signings. And that we got what the manager asked for, rather than what the club wanted to buy.Is it that different?

Not sure why any player would want to join Spurs at the moment. The ones that have are hardly getting a look-in for game time and poor old DJed not even on the bench
